Battle of al-Tayyim Hill

The Battle of al-Tayyim Hill occurred on 5 June 2016 during the Syrian Civil War. The Islamic State launched an offensive against Syrian government positions in Deir-ez-Zor Governorate while the Syrian Arab Army focused on launching an offensive against ISIS in northern Raqqa Governorate, and the Islamic State's forces forced a mass retreat of SAA soldiers (which was filmed and posted on the Islamic State's social media). At 10:45 AM, the Islamic State reported that it captured SAA positions on al-Tayyim Hill during the offensive against the government, making more gains against the regime forces.
